Reminds me of the stories of how the Taliban would pay random villagers to go to the top of a hill, fire a magazine at a nearby US base, and then just leave, so that the US would have to go into battle-readiness and send out search parties for nothing.
Ah yeah, I remember reading or seeing that somewhere. Really wore down the soldiers because they had to be mentally and physically alert all the time while those Taliban fighters could just fuck off and drink tea together or whatever. Guerilla warfare is pretty easy when you think about it from that level.
